It was a parody on one of Rudyard Kipling's "Barrack-Room Ballads" entitled "Gentlemen Rakers." That text was set to music by Tod B. Galloway in 1909. The actual text of the Whiffenpoof Song was written by Meade Minnigerode and George S. Pomery c. 1910 and set to Galloway's melody. The work is in the public domain.
